First let’s talk about this hot dry noodles.

Hot dry noodles originated from Wuhan (well known to everyone on earth), but they took root and grew up in the magical land of Xinyang.

Although the general recipe of Xinyang Hot Dry Noodles (hereinafter referred to as Xinre) is the same as that of Wuhan Hot Dry Noodles (hereinafter referred to as Wure), Xinre requires Qianzhang and bean sprouts at the end, and a spoonful of chicken soup is added.

It doesn't taste as dry as Wure, and the taste is more delicious than Wure.

When eating Wure in Wuhan, we often say "put less sesame sauce and order more noodles." When eating Xinre in Xinyang, we often say "put more soup and order less sesame sauce."

Basically every breakfast spot in Xinyang has hot dry noodles, and every Xinre store can buy them all in one morning.

This shows the popularity of Nobure!

Let’s talk about some of the more famous Xinre distribution centers. One is Jiu’an, which is the most upscale place to eat Xinre and the first place to have air conditioning to eat Xinre.

Although it costs 3 yuan for a bowl, it is basically acceptable. There are several types of meat, 1,000 pieces, and vegetarian options. There are also egg pancakes, eight-treasure porridge, bean curds, fried rice noodles, etc. It is a food city, and I recommend it.

The second is the Fatty Hot Dry Noodles in front of the cinema, next to the Xinyang Theater. It seems that this Xinre is the only one in the whole Shengli North Road snack street. The Xinre here is delicious because it has more condiments and tastes very delicious.

Just a little bit less.

The third is Xinre in the Xingfu Road Tea Market. I only buy it in the morning. There are fried dumplings, steamed dumplings, fried eggs, rice noodles, etc. next to it. This is where we have our breakfast every time.

In fact, I rarely eat Xinre, so that’s all I can say.

In fact, it doesn’t matter where it is, there are Xinre wherever there are people, and the Xinre at your doorstep is the most delicious!

There is another restaurant that we miss very much, Fat Sister’s Hot Dry Noodles next to the Xingao playground. It was probably the most popular thing we ate at Xingao headquarters, but it’s a pity that it’s gone!

The next one is the Xinyang people’s characteristic grilled fish.

The grilled fish in other places is dry grilled, but the grilled fish in Xinyang is cooked with cooking wine. It is impossible to verify who invented this method or which barbecue restaurant, and there are more and more types of grilled fish, from a single

Mullet, and now mutton chops, catfish, black-bone chicken, rabbit, the taste is becoming more and more delicious, and there are more and more ways to eat it. It used to be cooking fish and Qianzhang in a charcoal pot (I found that people in Xinyang like Qianzhang very much)

, now you can cook cabbage, tofu, kelp, and the favorite instant noodles of us barbecue killers. Grilled fish is an art that perfectly combines barbecue and hot pot.

The number one grilled fish restaurant in Xinyang is Xinhua Grilled King. Originally there was only one on Bayi Road, but now there is a branch on Shencheng Avenue, opposite Xinshi.

Some of the side dishes at Roasted King, such as pot stickers, are quite good and the prices are moderate.

The grilled lamb chops are Jianliang under Chevalier. The lamb chops here are not cooked with cooking wine, but fried with mutton. It smells very fragrant, and the taste is needless to say.

As Jianliang became famous around Chevalier, more and more barbecue stalls were attracted, but Jianliang's is still authentic.

Let’s talk about something else.

Egg pancakes and egg-filled pancakes, egg pancakes are actually learned from Tianjin’s pancake and fruit, but the Xinyang people changed the fruit into Qianzhang (Qianzhang again), and the other basic methods are the same.

The egg-filled pancakes may be native to Xinyang, because all I saw in Zhengzhou were Xinyang egg-filled pancakes. When I said I was from Xinyang, others said, "Oh, you know, there are Xinyang egg-filled pancakes in front of our school."

.

In fact, in Xinyang, egg pancakes and Xinre seem to be born together. Wherever there is Xinre, there are egg pancakes. When Xinre is paired with egg pancakes, it feels like a fairy.

Everyone knows about the spicy soup next to the toilet across from West Asia. I used to go there often when I was in elementary school. But later I heard that after the old owner died, the food was getting worse and worse, and it was also more expensive. 3

The spicy soup that costs 1 yuan basically has nothing and the taste is average, but the egg pancake inside is quite delicious.

There are a few better ones on the snack street, including Dingji, which all taste pretty good.

There is also a meat box, which is made by wrapping the bun filling in dough, kneading it into a pancake shape, and then deep-frying it. The skin is golden and crispy, and the filling is also very good.

Beef soup, mutton soup, instant noodles.

Mutton soup and beef soup were passed down from Zhengzhou. They are just a big pot to cook beef and mutton. When eating, add some seasonings, coriander and the like. But the smart Xinyang people have carried it forward. Not only can meat be cooked in the soup

, you can also cook instant noodles, Qianzhang (why, it’s still Qianzhang), tofu essence, and eggs, and you can cook as much or as little as you like, and it also changes the taste of the soup!

For authentic mutton soup, you have to go to Nanguan near No. 7 Middle School. Most of them are authentic halal mutton soup. Beef soup seems to be only made by Pan's family.

And when there are too many people here, you can order hot pot. There is also a bowl of fried rice with mutton oil for 5 yuan, which is really delicious!

There is a shop selling beef meatball soup at the northern end of Shengli Road Snack Street. The place is not very big. There is also a shop selling sesame seed cakes. Only when the beef soup is paired with sesame seed pancakes, the meatballs will be delicious!

Sweet potato pancakes, spoon buns.

It is a 10cm flat-bottomed spoon with concave sides and a convex middle, just like a hillock on the ground. Then put glutinous rice noodles or diced sweet potatoes in it and flatten it.

Put it into the frying pan and fry it. It will be golden and crispy when it comes out of the pan.

The sweet potato pancakes taste crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and are very chewy.

The spoon bun, or pie, tastes crispy and delicate, with a soft texture, charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

It’s really comparable to pizza!

Now I find that this kind of food is becoming less and less available. It is only found around the school. It is very troublesome to find it!

Fried dough sticks, tofu bread, xiaolongbao, rice noodles.
